Soooo tired...

Quick update....

Last weekend, Samuel was a ring bearer at a friend's wedding. He was a little stud in his suit.

Judah was just soooo tired after the busy weekend. :)

Right now, Sam and Mark are in a blanket tent in the living room, eating ice cream, and watching Star Wars. They're sleeping out there tonight. It's become a tradition for them now. I think this is the fourth or fifth time they've done this? So fun, great memories. :)

Update on the Boys

SAMUEL....
While in Kansas last month Samuel lost his first tooth! It seemed a bit early (he turned 5 in February), but he got his first two teeth before 4 months old, so I shouldn't be surprised. Samuel pulled his own tooth the first night we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house. He was quite excited that the tooth fairy left him fifty cents, and when I asked him what he was going to do with his money, he said he wanted to give it to God. Awww..... In actuality though, he is not usually that surprisingly sweet. :) No more loose teeth yet, but his adult one has already popped through.


Last Friday, we all went to visit the school Samuel is going to go to next fall. It's not our neighborhood school, but is around a 15 minute drive and really close to the lake. When it came down to it, Mark and I hesitated with our neighborhood school because we haven't heard very impressive things about it.
So, through the crazy Chicago school lottery system, Samuel got into a different school, which has an emphasis on fine and performing arts. Everyone was uber nice when we visited and Sam was excited when he saw how fun the classrooms were....ESPECIALLY because they have computers. :)

JUDAH....
Judah has starting walking... sort of. He still enjoys crawling (because he's fast at it), but he's walking more and more. Right now he can take 6 or 7 steps at least. Here's a video of him a few days ago. I have a more recent video of him walking more, but this one was cuter. :)

Judah also got to play drums with Dad for the first time yesterday. He is already a drummin' fool. :)

And finally, here is what Samuel did while Judah drummed. :)
